Weigh in!

I'm pleased to announce that I'm down another 3 pounds this week!

I know Superbowl Sunday will be tough with all of the food, so I'm going to make sure that I eat well and go to the gym a little more this week to prepare!

I'm wondering how many of you plan your meals ahead? Like the whole week in advance? I'm considering it, but I know it would be a lot of work- although this way I can monitor calories a bit more and can hopefully prevent the random cookie snacks that sometimes I want.

I'm about ready to order another bottle of healthy trim! I'm so happy with the results- almost camera ready:)

Weigh In.

After weighing in, I've lost three lbs this week:) Eating regularly and more well balanced meals-

How are all of you doing?

Where have I been?

I'm human, and as a human I don't always succeed. I don't have superpowers or even a super will at times. I've had some difficulties, they started with Thanksgiving. Ugh, that holiday should be ended, all of my favorite foods in one place? What was I thinking. I shouldn't have let my mom cook- she's got some great casseroles, and I loved every bit of them. In anticipation, I decided not to take Healthy Trim that day. It was all down hill from there. I found that my will was gone.

In the past month and a half I've gained 10 pounds back! Ugh, I'm so disappointed in myself! But, with the new year, there are always resolutions- and mine, to get healthier, not to be out of breath after a few flights of stairs, to eat better foods, and on and on and on.

So what does that mean for the Healthy Trim diet? I'm back on it. I'm not going to let a little bump in the road keep me from my overall goals. Thank you all for the e-mails, the comments, and the support. I needed it. I really appreciate it! For those of you just starting out, know that no diet is absolutely right and the sure fix, you've got to have the will to win as well...

I'm taking a new spin. I'm also going to be adding a few recipes of foods that are low in fat and carbs, high in protein, and that make me feel full faster.

For those of you out there working on a current diet, good luck, stay strong, and let me know what works for you :)

Thank you all for the inspiration!

Good Weekend

So we hosted a football tailgate, and it included me making plenty of my favorite foods/dips. Luckily I wasn't too hungry, so it worked out well.

I had a few drinks, and I was SO full that I couldn't eat anymore. Honestly, I didn't eat that much.

I've been having grapefruit juice in the AM with my Healthy Trim. Then I've been having the second capsule with milk. I've barely had to eat anything for lunch.

I really hope that you all are having as much luck as I've been having!

Weigh in

2 Weeks ago: 211
This week: 209!!!

That's with a ton of eating and drinking in the middle. I couldn't be happier about this weigh in!

How are you all doing?

Weigh in!!

I almost forgot my weigh in for the week!!!

Start weight:238
Last week: 213
This week: 210.

I can see that I'm not losing as much each week, but I can honestly say that I am so happy to have found Healthy trim because it allows me to eat the foods I love while still losing weight. I'm confident that with Healthy Trim I'll be able to lose weight, slowly, and honestly- in a more healthy way!

Weigh In!

I'm down to 213... That's a total loss of 25lbs! I can honestly say that I don't think I've been this weight in the past 3 years. I can also say I don't think I could have done it without Healthy Trim!

How is everyone else doing?

Last night I cried...

Tears of JOY!!!

My husband was out of town for a conference so when he got home, he actually noticed a difference. (Or at least he said he did- what a great guy?:) ) But that's not the best part. When we were getting ready for bed, he turned to me and said "Those jeans look terrible on you- you have saggy drawers, don't you have any old pairs of jeans you could fit into?" The jeans I was wearing were a tight size 18 when I started this journey with Healthy Trim.

I am VERY happy to report that right now, I'm sitting in front of my computer wearing a size 14, and they're loose! I tried the 12 (which I haven't worn in over 6 years) and I was able to get them up, but it's still to tight. That's my new goal by the end of October.

It brought me to tears last night- I've opened up into a whole "new" wardrobe of clothes I haven't been able to wear in two years!

So why hadn't I done this for myself yet? I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to even go down one size (I did notice that I could take off the size 18 without undoing the zipper) but I was just nervous that I would get discouraged.

Seeing progress is by far the best feeling. Sure, the Healthy Trim is expensive, but I really feel like it's giving me an old life back, and I'm just going to keep getting smaller and smaller. I really can't believe this.

I hope that all of you are able to experience this soon!!!

So What's with today?

Happy Hump Day!

It's a funky weather day, and I feel kinda funky myself- I'm still full from yesterday and taking the Healthy Trim today has just made me a bit more full feeling. I didn't even want lunch. I ate parts of a chicken fajita, but couldn't finish even half. I guess that's better than over eating:)

How is everyone else doing on this hump day?

Plans for dinner: 1/2 salad- Gotta get back on track!

Tuesdays are bad days!!!

I've decided that Tuesdays are bad days for me! I have a chance to eat after work- and that was a disaster! I was snacking and I am so mad at myself right now! I knew it was a disaster with how full I felt, and I'm still full- I guess that means Healthy Trim works, you just have to be willing to listen to it! I knew I shouldn't be eating the stuff. I wasn't hungry (like I used to be when I would come home from work) but I still felt the need to eat. Why oh Why!?!

OK! No cheating for the rest of the week.

Have you guys had these moments?

Weigh in Results for Week 6

Start: 238
Last Week: 217
This week: 214
Total Loss: 24 LBS!

I am still enjoying the foods I love. I'm feeling great- just eating less! I'm so happy with the results of the Healthy Trim thus far! Thanks everyone for following!


How are YOU doing?!

Seeing the Difference

Other people that don't see you as often notice when you lose weight but when you look in the mirror every day, you may not notice it as much. I just happened to take a look in a mirror, and I actually noticed the weight loss. One of my least favorite areas are my shoulders. You can hide a tummy, you can hide a butt, but you can't wear sleeveless anything and hide the shoulders. I actually noticed the weight loss in my shoulders today. I almost started to cry. (also because I had pizza yesterday and felt guilty) But I could see definition between my shoulder.

Just thought I would share!

Weekend Update

Well, it was quite the busy weekend for me. I did manage to keep my eating on the healthy side-even with the tempting burgers, and all that craziness!

Friday night was pretty relaxing. I was able to come home, grill up some pork chops, sit back and relax. I'm doing more with fresh apples now instead of applesauce. And instead of just doing a starch (like we usually did) I'm just doing veggies!

Saturday was a busy day. I had a football game to watch (didn't have beer- which was tough with all the peer pressure) While watching the game we had queso dip... very difficult to avoid-but I ate it in moderation! Then I had a buffalo chicken salad- managed to stay on the healthier side. I also had a wedding rehearsal, and wasn't very hungry afterwards- I just had a yogurt:)

Sunday was a good day as well, a bagel with light veggie cream cheese after church (and cucumbers) and then I didn't eat again until after the wedding (about 9pm- later than I usually like to eat) and had some roasted chicken.

Monday was a lazy sleep all day kind of day! LOVED IT! I ate pretty healthy with just a yogurt, 1/2 a turkey sandwich, lemon chicken, and a little bit of rice pilaf. I also have a new dessert to share for F2L this week... only 150 calories and soooo delicious!

How did everyone else do this weekend?

Week 5 Update!

Well, I woke up early this morning because I knew it was a weigh in date... Drumroll please!

Starting Weight: 238
Last Week:221
This week: 217
Loss this week 4
Total loss: 21lbs!!!!

I'm doing backflips!

Here I go again!

Well, I've started the second run of Healthy Trim this morning. I'm going to try what a reader suggested with 2 capsules of Healthy Trim in the AM, and 1 at lunch time.

I had the 2 this morning, accompanied by a HUGE bottle of water:) And that seemed to keep me full until lunch time. Chinese food- 2 pieces of chicken, a fork full of rice, a fortune cookie and that was about it:)

I'll be traveling tonight- so let's see how I can do with airport food! Any suggestions? Maybe I'll try for a salad or something light like that!

So I tried to stop for a week...

As many of you know, the economy sucks. Well I was trying to be a little money saver and cut back on costs. So I tried a week of no Healthy Trim to see if I could still lose weight. Here's what I found:

1. I was back to snacking- unhelathy snacks.
2. I was getting hungry by 9:30am.
3. I needed more food to not feel hungry.
4. I had a lot of cravings
5. I wanted soda with meals

So here's what I did: I ORDERED ANOTHER BOTTLE OF HEALTHY TRIM! I can't wait til it gets here so I'm back on the weight loss kick!

Oh No! Where did I go?

Sorry everyone- I wasn't sure if there was anyone out there following my blog! But YES, I am still here:)

To give you an update- last week was pretty emotional for me. I have two close friends getting divorced, and it hit me very hard- I stopped eating healthier, and felt sick! I was still taking Healthy Trim, but when you over eat on it, you feel even worse than you normally would. Make sure you're being smart when you're taking it!

On the gym note: I've been going more- it feels great to get that energy out! I mix the cardio and the weight training, and it feels good, and makes me feel good about myself:)

If you're looking for a weight update: I'm ashamed to say I'm only down to 121. It's unfortunate that I couldn't lose more, but the emotion of last week really hit me hard!

Healthy Trim Results:Weigh in!

Well, I'm proud to say that I've lost 4lbs this week!

Starting Weight: 238
Current Weight: 223

Total Loss: 15lbs! in just over 3 weeks on Healthy Trim!

I've been able to still enjoy the foods I love, in moderation! Until last night, I hadn't set foot in a gym, and I'm VERY proud:)

Another quick update!!

It has been a great week so far. Monday I had a great salad for dinner, and we've been doing a lot of fresh veggies and chicken.

I also enjoyed a yogurt with granola for lunch. I've also been snacking on some new great things that I'm going to share in my next "Food to LOVE... while on a diet" post! I'm adding that to my weekly blogging schedule!

I'll be updating on weight later this week... and I can't wait! I'm super excited to share the new # on the scale.

I cheated on lunch Tuesday with pasta- I swear my body aches for it every once in a while- What does your body ache for?

Weigh in!!!

Well I weighed myself (after a HUGE meal on Friday in celebration of my Anniversary- think pasta, wine, dessert...)

227!!

Total loss: 11lbs
